There was a method developed in the 70's by the group led by 
Avrameas (who developed enzyme immuno-conjugates). Search under 
Uriel. It uses a bed of acrylamide-agarose beads (Ultrogel). I 
would uses AcA 34 for your MW protein. You place the beads in an 
electrophoresis cuvette. Not to much buffer so that you have a 
slurry. Dig a trench with a spatula and load your sample. Apply 
current and when finished, you can either (1) Use a ruler to 
guide a spatula and take cross sections of the gel or (2) get a 
grid made that you sink onto the gel and that isolates say 1 cm 
transverse sections which you then scoope out. I've used it and 
it works fine. You can re-use the gel and re-separate your 
fractions if still contamined. You can load a lot of protein. You 
could use any other gel too (Sephacryl, etc). Good luck. 
Should you wish to reply do so by e-mail since I don't come in 
very often here. Ricardo
